1. Quentin Tarantino
At this point in his life, Tarantino had made several short films without major significance, which led him to look for some jobs with which to support himself in the meantime.
One of them was thanks to a friend who was working on an exercise video for actor Dolph Lundgren called Maximum Potential. Your homework from him? Clean dog excrement from a garden where some scenes of the video would be filmed.
2. Jon Hamm
Security cameras captured an individual, whom authorities in Long Beach identify as Miguel Ávila, when last Friday, October 20, at noon, he tried to rape a woman. When surprised, the victim fell to the ground. Although he had fled the scene, Ávila, 30, was already
One of Hamm's problems during his time as a young actor was the fact that he looked older than he was, which led him to appear at auditions where they were looking for actors to play the father of a character who would be the same age as him.
During the process of going from small role to small role, Hamm engages in a series of diverse activities: among them, his participation as a set decorator for adult films stands out.
3. Jean-Claude Van Damme
The young actor knew he had his chance to shine: landing the role of the main villain in an Arnold Schwarzenegger film was almost a guarantee of success. The problem is that no one tells him that his face would never appear on camera and that he would have to act wearing an orange suit that would make him look like a lobster but that served as the basis for the special effects that created his character: Predator. Things were not going very well for the actor, since after a few weeks of production, he was fired without ever appearing in the film.
4. Charlize Theron
Long before seeing her shine in Mad Max: Fury Road, Theron had to play very small roles and sometimes with a sad ending. Her first role on the big screen is in the film Children Of The Corn III: Urban Harvest, in which she played an extra. This role appears credited as Eli's Follower and she does not even have dialogue and she ends up dying impaled by the tentacle of a monstrous plant, in a part of her body that is better not to mention in these lines.
5. Christian Bale
The life of child actors is usually not as easy and fun as one might imagine. Bale is an example of them, and just by watching the commercial for a Pac-Man cereal in which, beyond acting, he has to dance and wear a look very Miami Vice style.
6. Arnold Schwarzenegger
Hearing his name is to automatically think of automatic gems like Terminator, Commando, The Expendables and Total Recall. We could even think of his political career as Governor of the state of California in the United States. Fortunately for Arnold, none of us will remember his film debut in a little sci-fi movie called Hercules in New York.
It is precisely a Hercules movie that he sees during his early adolescence that leads him to the world of bodybuilding, which is perhaps what attracts him to play this role. As an additional curiosity we can tell you that Schwarzenegger's accent was still so, so marked that his voice had to be dubbed since it was not clear what he was saying is Mr. Universe.
